I feel like I'm running towards co-creating my life with my higher power.
Ever felt like running away from your problems only to find them waiting for you at your new destination? In this episode of Cross Talk, hosts Corey and Claire, along with their guest Lauren, tackle the concept of 'pulling a geographic' – the idea that changing your location will solve your problems. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.
Lauren shares her personal journey of moving from a small town to the bustling streets of New York City and later to Los Angeles, in search of a fresh start. She realised that the real issues were internal and followed her wherever she went. The trio discusses how Al-Anon helped them understand that true healing comes from within, not from changing external circumstances.
With a mix of humour and heartfelt conversation, they explore the importance of self-awareness, acceptance, and the role of a higher power in recovery. Corey and Claire's light-hearted banter keeps the mood uplifting, even as they dive into deep topics. They also playfully touch on their own experiences with family dynamics and personal growth. If you’ve ever felt like escaping your troubles, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on facing them head-on.
Tune in for an engaging conversation that’s both entertaining and enlightening.
